Can they have their own vehicle during A school ?
My son wants us to send him his truck to Pensacola where he is in A school. Can they have a vehicle or do they have to pass first ?

I can't answer that question, but I know that it depends on the length of the A School and he would have to ask for permission to have the vehicle and I also think that he would not be allowed to have it for a couple of weeks after arrival. You may want to join the group, Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!. There will be a lot of good info there for you. You may also want to check out Ratings, A School Locations, and Links to Groups to find a group for your son's rating. (Underlined words within this reply indicate a clickable link.)

Have him call his school and ask. He should have the number on his orders, or he can find it here:

I know he can't have it during phase one. I'd love to know this answer, it is a strict "no" in Great Lakes, but Goose Creek is a yes. One of those things I just can't find online!

A friend of mine took his son his pickup truck and he was stationed at Great Lakes. Said it was a hassle, as parking was far away, but he did have it there.

Yes, but he wasn't allowed to have it on base as a student. That is a detail which would be good to know for P-cola.

He was in A School at the time. This was a little over a year ago.
